Mastodon to Open Much Needed Practice Facility for Atlanta Bands

February 22nd, 2016

Atlanta has been lacking a centrally located, multi-room, communal-feel rehearsal facility since both Thunderbox and Avatar Studios shut down last year. That looks to change later this year when Mastodon opens Ember City in the West End section of the city.

The band announced the purchase of the former Othello Event Hall, a 9,000 square foot building on Sylvan Road, via a post on their Facebook page on Feb. 20th. While cleanup and construction is expected to take a few months, along with permitting through the city, the band is already encouraging interested bands to sign up for the waiting list.
